Brian, it’s been a year. I think it’s time for you to go back to Hawaii and do this again!

Hi Dave,

Just got your comment. Good luck on the 70.3! My friends and I are not racing Honu this year but please post another comment (and link to your race report if you write one) when you’re done. We were just reminiscing on a training ride last weekend how difficult…uh, I mean FUN!!…Honu was. We each recounted our personal come to Jesus moments. My first was at the 1:40 mark on the bike (see the power drop), the second on the final third of the run, on the lava field road.

Biggest tip I could give for Honu, train for heat and grab ice at every aid station and put it under your hat and clothing. It’s all about the heat. Good luck, stay cool, and kick butt! Let us know how it goes — we’ll live vicariously through you.

Cheers,
Brian

[...] 1. Ironman 70.3 Hawaii. One of six triathlons I did this year. It was a tough day but was a memorable experience to race in Hawaii and to spend time with friends on the Big Island. (Thankfully, the sunburn has mostly healed.) [...]
